All diets work in the same way. If they restrict calories to a point where you are burning more than you eat, you will lose weight. If the diet does this than it will work, if not you will fail. Whether or not a diet is healthy is separate from whether or not it will work. If you severely restrict calories to under 1200 per day, you will lose weight but going this route is very unhealthy so be careful when reading about these diets. Also beware of diets that limit you to one food. Even if you are taking in a good amount of calories, you won't be able to get all the vitamins, nutrients, fat, carbohydrates or protein from just one type of food.

it is impossible for a diet that is based on any one item to be healthy. but unhealthy is only the beginning, the human body does not release fat stores for use as energy unless certain biological conditions are meet. you can't force the body to release fat stores, so if energy consumption is severely restricted after muscle glycogen is depleted in about 5-7 days muscle proteins are catabolized at a very high rate.
don't try it, I'm tellin ya it won't work and you will be worst off than you are now.

I don't think that would be wise. Your body needs certain vitamins, minerals...fiber! I think that your body would begin to eat it's own muscle which would actualy sabotage your dieting efforts by slowing down your metabolism!
Now, I don't see anything wrong with trying to eat a lot of oranges as well as plenty of other fruits and veggies!

Eating even one orange every day can give you diarrhea. I can't imagine what eating nothing but oranges would do to your digestion! Besides the fact that they don't contain protein or many other nutrients that are necessary in a good diet.
